Inserting an Icon into a Command button

Take a look at the alignment of the text of the ADD button along with the other buttons below.
Do you see that the 'Add/ word is not aligned at the center of the button (relative to the other buttons).
This probably means that the ARROW is not a graphic but a special character. You can use the Character Map utility to select a Font that has this character in.
As for the pop-up menu it is simply a _Click event procedure.
Hope that helped.
Random is what we can't see
Devine is what we can't understand
and If 1=2 then I'm the pope

Hi,
Set the Command button's Style to Graphical and then set the Picture or Icon property ( I don't remember which ) to the picture that you want to appear on the Command Button. You can browse and select this image by clicking on the .. button next to the Icon property. Hope it helps. Let me know what happens.
With regards,

In addition to what pgk says you could create a .BMP picture
of the text "ADD >" and put in the command button.
Make sure you eliminate the caption of the button.
pgk, if you do that the icon/bitmap will appear above or on top of the caption (not good !!!).

Hi,
Eliminating the caption might be a good idea when the icon represens very clearly what the command button's use is. If it does not, having the caption might not be such a bad idea.
In any case, make sure that there is a valid ToolTi Text in place for the button. Hope it helps. Let me know what happens.
